 How Suit Yourself Works

Clients can make an appointments or walk-in during operating hours to meet with one of our career counselors -- a community volunteer with extensive experience in human resources.  

After completing an initial assemsment,  each client will be required to accomplish the following before reciving a free business suit and bus token:

·         Develop a resume

·         Successfully complete at least 2 mock interviews

·         Apply for at least 5 jobs

Once a client completes the program, they are welcome to come back and use the facility to apply for jobs, work on their resume, and participate in further mock interviews. A client, however, can only receive one business suit a year. A client who is offered a job may receive one additional suit if they show proof of employment.

 Individuals may also receive a free business suit if they are referred from another career center and have completed a job training course.
